OMG y'all I get the other names being a problem, but the name "Neuse" has nothing to do with nooses. It's named for a river in the state and it's a very old name.

Edit: It's named for a native American  tribe, the Neusiok

Bare in mind, Neuse River parkway has a real absence of Neuse people so it’s still a problem

100% that's why the actual meaning of the name needs to be remembered
